4 Ways Machine Learning Will Aid Manufacturing in 2021 - Industry Today %

More accessible than ever, ML will be leveraged to reshape essential processes within the industry. Since the Industrial Revolution, manufacturing has undergone several transformations to harness new technologies as they become available. Over the past decade, advancements such as complex robotic systems, IoT technology, and artificial intelligence (AI) have pushed us into yet another round of technological adoption, the Industry 4.0 Revolution. As manufacturers embrace cutting-edge technologies, old methods are being augmented to achieve better, safer, and more profitable operations. Recently, machine learning (ML)--a sub-domain of AI that provides systems with the ability to automatically learn from experience without being explicitly programmed--has become increasingly pervasive in nearly every industry, but it's only just beginning to live up to its full potential, especially in manufacturing.
